ROADRUNNER ROCKS SUNDAY,10 August 2014 A slightly modified version of a stage held back in 2012, SS07: Road Runner Rocks was to include a winch up a rock face on the waters edge. Delays getting competitors to the stage meant that the tide was already well on it‘s way. Modifications were made and before long a new winch wall was created. Hoon broke cvs and axles and had to be towed back to Headquarters, copping a 100 point penalty for outside assistanct. Kyle Wohling (car #04), racing in Project Pink had winch problems on the first winch wall and also had to return to Esperance. With teams now ready to go, one by one they took on the rocks and dunes in a race along the beach, down massive sand dunes, over rocks and up sand winch walls. It was Delich and Bartlett (car #08) who were quickest with a time of 09:04 over Chris Hummer and Neil Cooper (car #33) with a time of 10:36. Ashley Delich (car #08) drives the second winch wall of the stage...
